$NZ 850.00

Greenstone Hei-Tiki 90mm x 55mm The name translates as hei (suspend, around the neck) and tiki (man). It’s an ancient symbol, but is by far the least understood, so there are a number of legends about it’s meaning. Some say he came from the stars and that he was the first man of the world. He is also often depicted with webbed feet which suggests a strong link to the creatures of the sea.
Tiki was respected as the teacher of all things and the wearer of this symbol is therefore seen to possess clarity of thought, loyalty, great inner knowledge and strength of character.
